COLORS OF THE RAINBOW
Judging the way someone looks isn’t the way to live life. If you go through life judging people you won’t have any friends. No one likes to be alone and that’s why we have friends. In the story The Basket Counts the author Matt Christopher, shows that just because someone is a different color doesn’t mean you should treat them any differently.
The way Matt Christopher shows this because someone looks different doesn’t mean you can’t be friends with them. In the story The Basket Counts it shows how kids get over their differences to save a friend's life. Kids later realize that something like skin color isn’t a reason to dislike someone, or not to be a good teammate to them. No one on a team gets left behind no matter how well they play or the way they look.
